Range vent is synonymous with range hood or kitchen vent. These appliances ventilate the air in a kitchen during cooking. Range vents come in varying styles and dimensions to fit your home remodeling needs.

While choosing a range vent, you’ll also want to consider how often you cook and what type of cooking you do. This may help determine the power necessary in the range vent for your kitchen. People who cook less may choose to purchase a less powerful range vent. The power of a range vent is described in the unit CFM (cubic feet per minute), which measures how much air the range vent can move.
